A new trailer has arrived online for Ron Howard’s rather fantastic-looking In the Heart of the Sea, which you can check out below after the official synopsis…
In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. “Heart of the Sea” reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down.
In the Heart of the Sea is set for release March 13th 2015, with a cast that includes Chris Hemsworth (Rush), Cillian Murphy (Inception), Tom Holland (Locke), Brendan Gleeson (Calvary), Ben Whishaw (Skyfall), Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones), Charlotte Riley (Edge of Tomorrow) and Jordi Molla (Riddick).
